An army of sixty or seventy men was armed. The direction of the defense of the pen www.biquge.info is outside the entrance of the village.

For a while, there was another burst of chickens and dogs. Although Li Qin's subordinates were not as fierce as those Jianghuai army knights, the people in the village were still a little frightened after seeing the people under Li Qin's command with straight faces and full of momentum and not allowing anyone to enter. They did not dare to greet these people, for fear that they would be treated harshly.

The fear of the people towards the soldiers is evident.

Originally, the villager still wanted to come over and talk to Li Qin to express his gratitude to Li Qin. But after seeing that Li Qin was also the one who led the troops to fight, they retreated.

A large group of them hugged each other there, and the man tightly circled his wife and relatives, with helplessness, resentment, and confusion on his face.

What's next?

They don't know.

They only feel that their lives are like wooden planks floating on the river, drifting with the tide in the turbulent times.

They have no strength, so they can only bow to those who have power.

If this submission can save their lives, they will definitely bow their heads.

The grass people, humble as grass, the king came to welcome the king, and the generals in the future were silently subjected to all the reasonable or unreasonable demands pressed by those big men. They may be so humble that they will die and end their lives, or they will endure to the extreme and explode in humiliation, setting off wave after wave of chaotic uprisings.

The peasants have power, but their power is too low-key and too chaotic.

They have strength but no brains, and they can't see the general trend clearly, this is their characteristic.

In the history that Li Qin knows, there are also several dynasties that came out of the mud legs and became the first people in the world, but the lines carried out by these people have little to do with their own classes: the Han and Ming dynasties, and in the end, they all bear the mandate of the landlord class.

They always need to be guided.

Li Qin watched the villagers cower, and his heart was stunned.

The arming at the entrance of the village actually plays more of a role than a layer of vigilance. With the scale of 80 people, if Du Fuwei's troops attacked, they would not be able to hold it.

Seeking peace of mind and making his actions smoother is the reason why Li Qin arranged this.

Of course, he didn't do it because of the few people here, but for the sake of the scared villagers.

Despite their attitude, Li Qin frowned. But Li Qin couldn't give up on them after all.

"There is still some spare energy left and right, so it will help. There are dozens of young people who can bring some labor to their factories. Li Qin whispered to himself.

The factory has been expanding, initially a small workshop with a few dozen or a hundred people, and now it has become a township enterprise with hundreds or thousands of people, and its scale is still expanding. In Li Qin's mind, under such a strong demand for labor, arranging dozens of people in this village is nothing at all.

Hopefully they'll say yes!

It is also irresponsible to dig a pit and make trouble, regardless of the pit being quelled.

That's what Li Qin thinks.

Seeing the villagers curled up in a corner like frightened quails, hugging together and shivering, and not daring to come over, Li Qin sighed.

After instructing everyone to wait for him here, Li Qin stepped forward and walked towards these timid people.

"Ladies and ......gentlemen," Li Qin stood still in front of them, clearing his throat.

"My lord, what's the matter?" An old villager with a wrinkled face and a bumpy walk stepped out and asked with horror.

"Liyang has been occupied by Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army. The people who came to your village just now are the men and horses of the Jianghuai army. You know how they behave. I drove them away, but they will surely come to take revenge. I could just walk away, but what about you? What should you do, have you thought about it yourself? Li Qin briefly explained the situation to them.

"What about the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?" The villager asked.

The old villagers were closed to news, and they thought that Dasui was as safe as Mount Tai in the previous ten years. Although he occasionally listened to outsiders say where and how, he still believed that with the power of the imperial court, he would definitely be able to evaluate these troublemakers one by one.

His Majesty the Emperor has an army of millions!

People are the Son of Heaven who is destined to be the Son of Heaven, what can't be done?

This is the most basic idea of the wild people in the middle of nowhere.

"The world is in chaos, and there are not many places that are stable." Li Qin mercilessly shattered his illusions.

"But my lord, aren't you an official soldier?" When Li Qin told his identity, the villagers also vaguely heard about it. They knew that Li Qin was a general of the imperial court.

"I'm just a small general, with only 5,000 troops under my command...... And they are all on the other side of the river, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip! Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army numbered more than 100,000 people. Li Qin whispered.

"Ah...... So what should we do? The villager didn't know much, but which of the ten thousand or the thousand was stronger, he also understood, and he became more and more frightened.

"If you want, this official can transport you all across the river! On the other side of the river, there is a factory run by the official that you can get a bite to eat there. Li Qin calmly told them his solution.

"Factory?" When the villager heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

When Tu is not far from the village, it is only separated by a large river. For the fishermen who depend on the water for their food, this river is both a fishing ground and a thoroughfare. What happened in Dangtu County on the other side of the river, they vaguely heard something.

In fact, some of them were young and strong enough to make a living in Li Qin's factory. The treatment in the factory, they have heard of it and envy it.

It would be nice if you could cross the river and enter the factory.

For the things he heard, the good and bad, the villagers are still clear.

"I'll go discuss it with them...... "The villager was moved and planned to discuss it with the people behind him.

"That's going to be fast...... Duvowe doesn't have much time left for us. I don't want to fight with tens of thousands of him at this time. Li Qin urged: "If you want to leave, then you have to leave immediately, and the things at home that can be given up will be discarded." Ours is fleeing, not moving. ”

"Ah...... I can still figure it out. The villager was shocked when he heard this, and nodded in panic. He is already dozens of years old, and when he was young, he also became a place to go farther, so he naturally understands how terrifying the rebel army is.

At that moment, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly conveyed what Li Qin said to his villagers.

He was here to explain, but Li Qin stepped aside and joined Li Jing.

"What do you think of my people?" Li Qin asked Li Jing with a smile.

"Good training! It's a pity that it's just a look. I have not seen blood, there is no murderous spirit, and I doubt that they can fight! Li Jing's words were unceremonious, indifferent and sharp. He directly pointed out the characteristics of Li Qin's group of subordinates, or their weaknesses.

"Well, that's their weakness...... However, it is not too difficult to solve the weakness, and it is good to find some bandits and let them see the blood. Li Qin didn't care about this: "This world is chaotic, it's not easy to find a peaceful place, but it's not difficult to find a group of bandits or something." ”

"Yes!" Li Jing nodded, acknowledging this.

"This is the fifth batch of town soldiers I have trained...... Danyang Town, there will always be only 5,000 people. Li Qin said to Li Jing.

"You want to hide from people? But...... You may not be able to do it completely! There is no impermeable wall in the world, and what will happen to you if someone stabs your news to the emperor and asks the emperor to remove you? Li Jing guessed Li Qin's intentions, but he felt that it was not safe.

After all, Li Qin was only a small general, and he did not have a strong network of connections in the imperial court, nor did he have a terrifying power. In such a situation, it would be easy for the emperor to do anything to him.

People who don't have a deterrent are always trying to bully.

"Cold salad...... What else? Li Qin didn't care about this: "With my current strength, even if there is a trouble, it will not be worse than Du Fuwei." If I can delay it for a while, my strength will grow even more. It's just that what I want is a complete crush, so I need more time. ”

"Is that so?" Li Jing lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, the villager came over and conveyed their opinions to Li Qin.

After all, the villagers were persuaded by the villagers and agreed to follow Li Qin across the river.

"Good!" Li Qin stroked his palm: "Since you have agreed, then act as soon as possible." Bring your own clothes and some important things. I'm only going to give you half an hour younger. If you haven't packed up yet, I'll send a sergeant to help you. ”

"Ah...... Don't dare to bother the military master. The villager was taken aback by Li Qin's words, and hurriedly ran back and informed the villagers of Li Qin's order.

The crowd that had gathered exploded at once. They ran, screaming, and ran back to their broken homes, and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to pack their belongings.

Breaking a family is worth a lot of money, and the people's choice time is always desperate.

Although the villagers repeatedly warned them not to waste too much time, those people in the village still procrastinated, and they always refused to abandon it, and they were reluctant to stay.

There are those with pillows, there are also chickens and ducks, and there are even people who drive pigs......

A burst of chickens and dogs jumped down, and less than 30% of people were able to pack their luggage on time.

"What should I do?" Li Jing looked at Li Qin, he wanted to see how Li Qin solved such problems.

At this time, the villagers came over with a begging of the villagers, hoping for a period of relief.

But Li Qin behaved very rigidly at this time: "No! When is whenever...... I will send soldiers to help you clean up, and it must be done within a quarter of an hour. Otherwise, stay here. Li Qin said in a cold voice.

With a slight wave of his hand, a dozen soldiers rushed out of the house, rushing into the homes of those who had not yet cleaned up, and helped them clean up.

The sound of arguments, slapping, tearing, followed ...... Obviously, in order to strictly carry out Li Qin's orders, these soldiers did not move so gracefully.

"You're going to break the hearts of these people by doing that. Even though you saved them, they may not be grateful to you - under your rudeness. Li Jing saw that Li Qin really strictly implemented such an order, and couldn't help frowning, and whispered to persuade Li Qin.

"There's no way around it! Now running for your life comes first. As for these people...... I'm going to leave them in the factory, and they're going to have to practice in the factory. Li Qin didn't care about that.

"Okay!" Li Qin was so disobedient, and Li Jing had no better way to do it, so he could only forget it like this. Who made him still a prisoner of Li Qin now?

In the midst of the chaos and hustle and bustle, with the rude help of the soldiers, the villagers were able to pack their belongings much faster.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone brought their belongings.

After Li Qin seconded the original fishing boats in the village, he sent these villagers to the big boats in batches. He drove the people into the cabins, ordered the soldiers who had been stationed at the entrance of the village to withdraw, and then moved with them from the small boat to the big boat.

After such a busyness, everything settled down, and Li Qin breathed a long sigh of relief.

The flotilla lifted anchor, and the five large ships were connected in a row, and began to turn around on the river.

The boat swayed and sailed, but it faintly made Li Qin feel at ease.

Maybe it's because the ship belongs to you?

Possibly!

Didn't later generations say this: "Warships are moving land." ”

Although the big ship at Li Qin's feet was simple, it was indeed a warship that specialized in battle.

The river was flowing on the side of the ship, and Li Qin, Li Jing, Xu Ziling, and Kou Zhong were drinking tea and talking in the cabin at the back of the big ship.

Unlike people in this era, who like to boil tea and put ingredients, the tea that Li Qin drinks is fried and processed according to the process of later generations, and only needs to be brewed with boiling water, but it is simple and has a unique flavor.

At the moment, a few people tasted tea and cakes, and talked about it from all over the world, and after two or three times, they also talked about a bit of warm taste.

However, before they could talk, Li Qin felt that the speed of the ship had suddenly slowed down, and it had gradually stopped.

"What's going on?" Li Qin got up from his seat, hurriedly walked out of the cabin, and found the leader of the ship, Nangong Haizhu.

This is a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years, who looks very weak. looks like his name, but he is quite good at underwater kung fu, and he is clever and studious, and he is good at mastering new things. The only downside is that the personality is a little more superficial.

The head of the gang is also the captain, the person who is responsible for commanding the affairs of a ship, and the rank and position under Li Qin's command are roughly the same as that of the hundred generals. It's more or less a petty official.

When he saw Li Qin asking, he hurriedly handed the monocular in his hand to Li Qin: "General, look at the ...... ahead."

"Huh? Front? Li Qin picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance: he found that the fleet was already in the northeast direction of him.

The size of the ships in this fleet was not very large, there were ships and boats, but more of them were fishing boats, and these large and small boats were tangled together, splashing on the river like sesame seeds, blocking their way.

This fleet belonged to Duvowe.

Li Qin clearly saw that the bows of those ships were planted with a square flag with green edges on a white background, and the flag was embroidered with a large "Du" character.

"What a quick response! Du Fuwei's men and horses ......" Li Qin exclaimed: "Did they come from Wujiang?" ”

"It must be ......" Nangong Haizhu nodded: "If it weren't for the transfer from Wujiang, they would never have appeared in front of us." ”

"Hmm!" Li Qin nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly a sailor rushed in from outside the cabin in a panic: "My lord, the rear flag, there is Du Fuwei's fleet in the rear." ”

"Rear?" Li Qin was surprised: "Does he want to encircle and annihilate us here?" How did you play such a position? ”

Li Qin felt that his situation was a little worse now.

What to do?

Li Qin felt that he had to come up with a solution.
